Pre-Sales Lead, USA

Trustpair is looking for a Pre-Sales Lead, USA to join our Revenue Excellence team and take on a uniquely dual-mandate role: owning strategic enterprise deals in North America, while simultaneously raising the bar for how the global pre-sales function operates.

This is a lead-level individual contributor role, you will be the most senior pre-sales resource, partnering closely with our Account Executives to win complex Enterprise deals, while also taking ownership of methodologies, tooling, and best practices across a team of three pre-sales professionals based in the US and Europe.

This is a hands-on, build role. If you're energized by the challenge of shaping how a pre-sales function operates at a fast-growing international company, not just executing within one, this is the role for you. You will report to Claire Vachelard, Head of Revenue Excellence, and work closely with the US Sales team, Implementation Managers, and Product.

This position is based in New York City, with hybrid presence preferred (2 days/week in the office).

Contract type: Full-time

Main Mission

This is a newly created position designed to increase pre-sales capacity in North America and drive global pre-sales continuous improvement.

Your mission will be to:

• Lead pre-sales engagement for Trustpair's strategic Enterprise opportunities in North America, helping shape complex deals from initial discovery through successful close.
• Drive continuous improvement across processes, methodologies, tools, and best practices for the global pre-sales team.
• Become a trusted product and deal-strategy partner to the US team, bringing deep expertise and helping Account Executives navigate and win complex opportunities.

What You'll Do

Strategic Deal Execution North America

• Partner with US Account Executives on strategic and complex enterprise deals: lead technical discovery, deliver tailored product demonstrations, design and run Proof of Concept phases, and build compelling business cases for C-level stakeholders
• Serve as the primary expert on Trustpair's product, integrations, and value proposition throughout the sales cycle, ensuring prospects at every level of the organization fully understand what Trustpair brings to their specific environment
• Own POC phases end-to-end: define success criteria with the prospect, coordinate internal resources, track progress, and drive conversion to a signed deal
• Navigate complex enterprise environments involving multi-stakeholder alignment, ERP integrations (SAP, Oracle, Coupa), TMS platforms, and collaboration with consulting firms or system integrators when present in the deal
• Build lasting relationships with key contacts at target accounts and strategic partners to support long-term pipeline development

Scale Pre-Sales Practices Global

• Define and enforce best practices, processes, and methodologies across the pre-sales team (currently 2 in Europe, 1 in the US), from discovery frameworks and qualification criteria to POC playbooks and demo standards
• Work closely with the Head of Revenue Excellence on strategic topics impacting the pre-sales function: pricing approach, competitive positioning, and prioritization of new use cases
• Act as the primary feedback loop from the field: synthesize insights from deals: objections, product gaps, integration challenges, competitive dynamics, and share them with Product, Marketing, and Sales leadership
• Ensure the team has the right materials to operate at a high level: integration guides, battle cards, use case libraries, and product documentation

Partnership & Enablement US

• Work hand-in-hand with Account Executives throughout the sales cycle, not just as a technical resource, but as a strategic partner who helps them qualify deals more effectively, structure their approach, and maximize their chances of closing
• Challenge AEs on deal strategy: push back when qualification is weak, identify the right stakeholders to engage, and ensure pre-sales resources are deployed on the right opportunities at the right time
• Elevate the overall quality of sales execution by sharing knowledge on Trustpair's product, integration complexity, and what separates a winnable deal from a difficult one
